my sound suddenly went out. I checked the system prefs, sound, output. Can't find the problem.

I suddenly lost sound. Went to system prefs, sound, output; mute is not on, arrows indicate everything should be working. Where do I turn next?

Hi,


Check settings in Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Output > make sure Mute is unchecked.
